We used MATLAB R2014a to construct the emission inventories with sectoral fossil fuel consumption and emission factors. We provided the code in the
Supplementary Information
. We also provided the formatted energy data of China and its provinces (energy inventories) in our datasets for additional data transparency and verifiability (see

, File ‘China national energy inventory, 2000–2015’ and File ‘China provincial energy inventory, 1997–2015’). Researchers will be able to use the MATLAB code and energy inventories to recalculate the CO
2
emissions for China by adopting different emission factors.

Apart from the sectoral approach, the energy-related emissions of one region can also be estimated using the reference approach.
‘The Reference Approach is a top-down approach, using a country’s energy supply data to calculate the emissions of CO
2
from combustion of mainly fossil fuels. The Reference Approach is a straightforward method that can be applied on the basis of relatively easily available energy supply statistics (Volume 2, Chapter 6, Page 5)’
. The IPCC suggests ‘
to apply both a sectoral approach and the reference approach to estimate a country’s CO
2
emissions from fuel combustion and to compare the results of these two independent estimates (Volume 2, Chapter6, Page 5)’
. The reference emissions can be used to verify and support the sectoral emissions.

Hours after her arrest, Clermont — who appeared on a season of the
Bad Gils Club
with her sister Shannon — was released on $100,000 bond. She is charged with one count ofconspiracy to commit wire fraud, access device fraud, and aggravated
identity theft
, stemming from an investigation into the death of a man found dead in his Manhattan apartment from an overdose of cocaine and fentanyl.

“As alleged, Shannade Clermont, a former cast member of the
Bad Girls Club
, lived up to her reality series reputation,” U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said.“She allegedly stole debit card information from a man found dead – the victim of a drug overdose – in his Manhattan apartment and used his identity to make tens of thousands of dollars in fraudulent purchases. Thanks to the skilled investigative work of the NYPD, Clermont’s new reality is federal prosecution for her alleged nefarious conduct.”

Authorities claim that on January 31, 2017, Clermont visited the man, identified only as “victim,” at his apartment for a “prostitution date,” the day before his corpse was discovered.

“During the course of that investigation, law enforcement learned that Clermont visited the Victim for a prostitution date at the Victim Apartment the previous evening, and used the Victim’s debit card information to make or attempt to make more than $20,000 in fraudulent purchases during the months following the Victim’s death,” the U.S. Attorney’s office said.

Court documents posted by
The Blast
show excerpts of alleged text messages where Clermont and the manappear to be setting up a date. A doorman apparently confirmed seeing Clermont in the building, but told investigators that shesaid hername “Audrey.” In the text exchange, the man asks Clermont what kind of alcohol she wants, and promises that she’ll have “fun” with him. “I’m a cool dude,” reads one alleged text message.
